Programming Logic and Engineering

A program for the first grades of primary school, created to provide teachers with the tools to introduce mathematics, physics and programming logic concepts in the classroom through engineering and robotics.

The proposed activities will introduce teachers to the world of Simple Machines (gears, pulleys, levers) , understand how they are combined to create Complex Electric Machines with motion transmission, to be used as tools in the educational process. Through the construction models they will learn ways to teach mathematical concepts such as counting, mathematical operations, proportions, geometric shapes, etc. they will learn ways to teach children basic physics concepts such as mass, speed, energy, force and time.

This new program also provides educators with everything they need to help their students master early coding concepts in a hands-on way with the Kids First Coding educational tool. They will learn ways to teach kids the programming logic of algorithms of logical iterations of variable variables of options and logical operations without the use of computers and tablets

Through the program, science , engineering and programming become fun learning opportunities!

Objectives

Upon completion of the program the trainees will have:

familiarized themselved with the Kids First Coding material and have created tangible programming projects,
acquired the knowledge necessary to introduce engineering concepts for the first time in their classroom,
created working models that demonstrate the basic principles of Simple Machines,
been inspired with teaching ideas and ready-made activities to implement in their classroom.
